Photography+ Motion.

I photograph people, animals, and the worlds around them—with clear direction, a relaxed set, and attention to the moments that make the work feel alive.

Portraits, pets, editorial, events, and motion. Chicago, San Francisco, New York, and projects nationwide.

You.

I direct each person with care so the portrait reads as credible and capable without turning them into someone else. One leader or an entire team.

A point of view,not a pose.

I shape light, composition, and direction around the person in front of me. The image can be considered without losing what makes the subject feel real.

Life,as it happens.

I read the room and look for what happens between the planned moments—the gestures, reactions, and connections that give the story its life. The goal is lifestyle imagery that feels observed rather than staged.

Animal portraits

Animals,as themselves.

Every animal has its own pace and point of view. I make room for both, whether the portrait is carefully composed or found in the middle of real life.

Some things onlyread in motion.

I use camera movement, drone and handheld footage, editing, animation, typography, and sound to carry a feeling across time. The same attention to character, craft, and where the work will live applies.

Live atmosphere

Made for whereit needs to live.

We agree on use, scope, timing, and delivery before the session. Final work arrives edited, organized, and ready to go out—without mystery about what is being made or what happens next.
